One Dr's comments on Besremi approval

Nothing new for most of us here, but nice to see recent good words from a member of MD Anderson Cancer Center on what many of us are now taking.

Key feature vs PEG is the longer dosing interval, although many members here seem to have multi week intervals on PEG also after time.

Encouraging words:

<<Pemmaraju noted that the long-term findings demonstrate that Besremi is very safe and well tolerated.

“I think the strength of this data set is that you have such a long follow-up,” he said. “It’s very comforting to see that. You don’t always have that long-term follow-up before you have a drug in the clinic.”>>

He also notes what we are doing:

<<even post-approval, all of us need to watch out for toxicity (and) side effects>>
